Subject: Access to knowledge: Invitation to contribute...

Access to knowledge: Invitation to contribute to the public 
consultation on the Green Paper on the European Research Area

-- On-line questionnaire open until 31 August 2007 --

Last April, the European Commission adopted a Green Paper on "The 
European Research Area: New Perspectives" 
(http://ec.europa.eu/research/era/consultation-era_en.html#greenpaper). 
The Green Paper identifies "effective knowledge-sharing" as a key 
area for the ERA and asks whether there is a need for EU-level 
policies and practices to improve and ensure open access to and 
dissemination of raw data and peer-reviewed publications from 
publicly funded research results".

The European Commission has published an online questionnaire 
addressing in more detail the questions raised in the Green Paper 
(http://ec.europa.eu/research/era/questionnaire_en.html). It 
contains a section on knowledge-sharing, including a specific 
question on access to scientific information (KSH2).

The Scientific publications team invites you to participate in 
the debate by filling in the questionnaire. The two first 
sections of the questionnaire are compulsory, whereas other 
sections are voluntary. Knowledge-sharing is addressed in part 
four.

Word or PDF versions of the consultation can be downloaded prior 
to completing the online version. Additional comments can be sent 
to rtd-era@ec.europa.eu (please send a copy to 
rtd-scientific-publication@ec.europa.eu).

Kind regards,
